Enterobactin is a high-affinity iron chelator produced and secreted by Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium to scavenge scarce extracellular Fe3+ as a micronutrient. EntC and EntB are the first two enzymes in the enterobactin biosynthetic pathway. Isochorismate, produced by EntC, is a substrate for EntB isochorismatase. By using a competing isochor ...

Siderophores are high-affinity small-molecule chelators employed by bacteria to acquire iron from the extracellular environment. The Gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli synthesizes and secretes enterobactin, a tris-catechol siderophore. Enterobactin is synthesized by six cytoplasmic enzyme activities: EntC, EntB (isochorismatase (IC) domain), EntA, E ...

The polymorphous cellular shape of Candida albicans, in particular the transition from a yeast to a filamentous form, is crucial for either commensalism or life-threatening infections of the host. Various external or internal stimuli, including serum and nutrition starvation, have been shown to regulate filamentous growth primarily through two classical s ...
